Hey Donna,
Congrats, she does look lumpy. Hopefully the eggs have been fertilized, and she gives you a good clutch.
We have always had better luck with nesting areas (vs. nesting boxes). I guess it just depends on what the female is comfortable with.
Austin and I usually incubate between 83-86. They take a bit longer at lower temps, but we are not in any hurry. I know some people prefer higher temps; 87-90, but we were not satisfied with our results at these temps. We, and another breeder saw a lot of tail kinks in chucks incubated at this range, though we didn't look into it further, and there may be other factors involved.
Anyway, keep us posted.
Thanks for sharing the pics.
Nick & Austin
